What are the top 3 data mining software vendors and what are their software package capabilities/benefits?
Answer A list of Data Mining software vendors can be found at http://www.the-data-mine.com/bin/view/Software/AllDataMiningSoftware This just lists the software with no attempt at ranking them. Since Datawarehousing and Data Mining overlap quite a bit, I would rank Hyperion, Cognos and SPSS, based on their fame in the marketplace. (But this is purely my ranking!) For a list of pureplay Data Mining Software (again, without ranking) go to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Mining#Software Hope this helps.
